And, last but not least, I have had several people email me, asking to see my finished tattoo.

It is completely done and healed beautifully.

These photos were taken the day after, so the tattoo was still a bit swollen and distorted, but I think you can get the idea.

The tattoo is gorgeous. If you live in the Southern California area and are considering a tattoo, Dan Smith from Captured Tattoo in Tustin is an amazing artist. He used to work at High Voltage in Hollywood, but he's opened his own shop and it is absolutely gorgeous. Full view ~

So....I've been keeping busy, as usual. Decorating.Art.And a fresh tattoo.What's going on in your neck of the woods?

The finished tattoo looks great! I love the scissors!Years ago I was visiting a college friend in California & I met a friend of his who lived in Tustin. I don't know if he's still there. Usually you never hear anyone mention that city.Mr. Harvey pumpkin is cool! He has a nice vintage look to him!I'm just finishing up with the Halloween decorations myself. I just love Halloween & all the fun decorations!

Isn't Halloween a fun time? I love the autumn, but the winter....not so much. I try to enjoy the fall as much as I can because I know that it will feel like forever and a day before springtime finds it's way back.

I'm so happy with the finished tattoo. It took 3 very long sessions, but it was worth it!
